Re: [Texmacs-dev] MacOS TeXmacs-1.99.5 brew, missing Guile libs.

[Karl Hegbloom]

Ok, I found the texmacs.org page with the MacOS dmg and two other ways to install it. That dmg suffers the identical problem as the one in homebrew: the libguile.17 is there, but not any of the dynamically loadable shared objects nor the scm for things like srfi and oop goops.

I found that by using "rudix", http://rudix.org, I can get a functioning copy of guile 1.8.8, and then I can:

  cd /Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.5.app/Contents/Resources/lib
  cp libguile.17.dynlib ASIDE_libguile.17.dynlib
  ln -s /usr/local/lib/libguile.* /usr/local/lib/libguile*srfi* /usr/local/lib/libguilereadline*17* .

After that, test by launching from a terminal as /Applications/TeXmacs-1.99.5.app/Contents/MacOS/TeXmacs then insert a scheme session then find that the value of %load-path now contains the needed /usr/local/share/guile/1.8 etc. Also now try (use-modules (oop goops)) or (use-modules (srfi srfi-1)) to see that it can load those.

Now my git clone of https//github.com/KarlHegbloom/zotero-texmacs-integration.git symlinked as tm-zotero under ~/.TeXmacs/plugins, the MacOS version of Juris-M standalone is installed, with the propachi-texmacs xpi installed in it, plus the CSL styles that for some reason are not automatically installed in the MacOS standalone Juris-M... is confirmed working with minor troubles that I expect to clear up in the next few days.

It starts and runs, but can not find guile libs that my plugin requires. When I start a scheme session and look at the %load-path, I find, down at the bottom, paths that start with: /Users/denis/DEV/sdk/MacOSX10.6/share/guile/... but those are not installed by the brew package. Because TeXmacs is one of very few programs still using Guile 1.8 at this stage, I recommend packaging all of the guile-1.8 scheme libraries right into this in a place in the %load-path. The embedded guile interpreter is the complete interpreter, and is capable of running all of the libraries in the normal guile install... and I use some of them in my plugin!
